Styling lost on text that is included within an invalid HTML block

[tmonahan]

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open any CKEditor sample and switch to Source mode.
2. Enter the following:

   <ul>
   This is a sample that contains <b>bold</b> text
   </ul>
   

3. Switch back to wysiwyg mode.

Problem: The bold styling is not displayed.

If you switch back to Source mode without clicking in the editor body, you can see the source has changed to:

<ul>
	This is a sample that contains bold text
</ul>

The bold formatting is already lost.

If you switch back to wysiwyg mode, click in the editor and then switch back to Source mode, the source is now:

<p>
	This is a sample that contains bold text</p>
<ul>
</ul>

We realise that using the UL tag without an inner LI is not valid HTML. However we would still expect the styling of the text content to be preserved.

Reproducible in all browsers from CKEditor 3.0

I see this far from being a priority issue, but it is a welcomed enhancement.

Btw, I was not able to find the above test, but I've noticed enhancements to the following instead:
